Since becoming Secretary of Agriculture, I've been to 33 states, and everywhere I go I see the kids in the blue & gold jackets of @NationalFFA. They give me such hope for the future of agriculture. This might be my personal record for most FFA-ers in a selfie. Happy #FFAWeek! pic.twitter.com/r5ao9K4Wll
